Girl Trouble

(2/10/2012) Much of Bali was shocked and shaken by a vicious assault on a local girl capture on Youtube.com.

The attack carried out by 7 teenage members of a female gang in Bali was launched recently upon an acquaintance of the group who left their victim laying wounded on the side of a nearby road largely bereft of clothing.

Statements to police from the victim and the video have assisted police in apprehending 7 members of the “Girl Macho Performance Gang” – 5 of whom have been formally named as suspects in the case.

The girls, now in the legal process, face the threat of up to 3.5 years imprisonment if convicted.

The 2 remaining girls – who recorded the attack on their hand phones – are listed by police as material witnesses in the case.

The five girls charged in the attack, who are all minors, are being held separate from the general population at the Bali police lockdown and will be handled under special procedures established for juveniles detainees charged with a felony.
